    Peace Hizbullah -- you've shown nothing only contradicted yourself.

    Again, irrelevant if they are lies or not it refutes your claim since you wrote this

    Quote from Hizbullah on February 04, 2015, 012554 AM
    Why all these stories in the Quran suddenly appeared in the Talmud in the 4th and 5th Century CE? The answer is that it was the Jews who plagiarized what is from the Quran!

    Again, similar stories appear 700 & 300 years earlier refutes your plagiarism claim.

    Peace Noon,

    Did I? My question is very straight forward. I am not asking you about what was written 700 years with regards to the 4th Century! The stories of the Quran that was rewritten in the Talmud in the 4th Century should be in the former Book of ALLAH, ie, in the Bible and NOT IN THE TALMUD which was written in the 4th Century! Why?

    Quranic Evidence

    AQ;0515 - O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you CONCEAL OF THE BOOK AND OBLITERATE MUCH. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.

    Again, you've shown nothing! If you have historical evidence please post one verse that's earlier?

    "The Inscription of Abraha" (battle memorial, southern Saudi Arabia)

    Abraha (deceased ~ 553 CE) Aksumite Christian King South Arabia Kingdom of Aksum and Saba/Yemen.

    According to traditional Islamic history, Abraha carried out military action against the Meccans in 570 CE, the year the Arab prophet was born. But there you are, contradicting yourself. Abraha died in 553 CE.

    So I conclude that what you have shown are nothing but fictitious.

    Peace

      Peace Hizbullah, Talmud, Bible, you have to be specific and you don't know if they copied from each other.
      Likewise your claim they plagiarized non-existent Qur'an at the time is false -- you have not provided proof?

      There you go again -- please show how/where I contradicted myself due to some Arab tradition/hearsay about 570 CE?

      Again it is you contradicting history shown you above which you agree that South Arabia was ruled by Christians until 7th century -- again if you have any historical evidence of an earlier Qur'an please post it here -- even a single verse?

        Peace Noon,

        I have already provided you Quranic evidence, but of course, it shows clearly Quran is nothing to you

        AQ;4506 - These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe?

        There you go again -- please show how/where I contradicted myself due to some Arab tradition/hearsay about 570 CE?

        Again it is you contradicting history shown you above which you agree that South Arabia was ruled by Christians until 7th century -- again if you have any historical evidence of an earlier Qur'an please post it here -- even a single verse?

        Off course you contradict yourself by acknowledging the traditional history of Islam, that is, the Prophet was an Arab, the Quran was sent down in Arabic so on and so forth. You can twist and turn 360 degree, but your writings are all over this thread and proof you contradict yourself.

        When did I ever said that South Arabia was ruled by Christians until 7th century. Show me.

        Thank you for showing the historical evidence , it shows that Abraha did not attacked Mecca in 570 CE with Elephant Battalions. As such, there is no such things as an Arab prophet born in 570 CE, there is no such city as Mecca. All Traditional Islamic sources are nothing but fictitious and you believe in them nope

        http//www.mnh.si.edu/epigraphy/figs-stones/large/color_lg_jpeg/fig04_c_lg.jpg

        Further Quranic Evidence 6304

        And when you see them, you wonder their physique and when they speak, you listen to their speech as if they were MUSNAD INSCRIPTION ON WOODEN PLANKS.

        The Prophet was wondering of those hypocrites of their physique and the speech and their writings. They seems so strange to him.

        Look at the South Arabian writings, it looks like some cartoons drawings

        Peace

          Salam @ Hizbollah Can you please clarify "The above verses proofs that prophethood from the family of Abraham was granted to the descendents of Prophet Ishaq. The Last Prophet was a direct descendent of Prophet Ishaq and not Ismael as the Traditional Islamic sources implies! The Arabs are descended from the Prophet Ismael. In fact, all of us in this world at present descend from the 11 sons of Ismael."

          Do we know if God granted prophethood to any one else from other races, tribes, or peoples not living in the Middle East? When you say " all of us in this world" who are you referring to? Do you mean "all of us Arabs"? Or are you including Arabised peoples, Brazilian jungle tribal peoples, Viking descendants etc etc in that statement?

            Peace Hizbullah -- verse you posted is not proof Qur'an came down in 4th century?

            Off course you contradict yourself by acknowledging the traditional history of Islam

            What exactly did I acknowledge?

            Your writings are all over this thread and proof you contradict yourself.

            Please post one contradiction and quote me?

            Thank you for showing the historical evidence , it shows that Abraha did not attacked Mecca in 570 CE with Elephant Battalions.

            Who exactly are you debating the above with?

            Was it not posted Abraha (deceased ~ 553 CE) Aksumite Christian King South Arabia Kingdom of Aksum and Saba/Yemen?

            Likewise are there not historical coins and other evidence that his decedents ruled S. Arabia until Islam came in 7th century?

            Again, if you are going to make a statement that Qur'an was in 4th century to a non-Arab in a non-Arabic script/language and that whole world is decedent from 11 "arabs/eloquent" sons now according to you then simply post your evidence?

              LOL, you believe in the DSS craps? Let me show you what the Jews plagiarize-

              1. Life of Adam and Eve according to Jewish pseudepigraphical group of writings, written in 3rd to the 5th century!

              2. Adam and the Angels according to The Legends of the Jews written in the 1900s

              3. Killing all Mankind according to the Mishnah Sanhedrin written in the 4th Century CE!

              4. The raven and the burial of Abel according to The Ten Generations - The Punishment of Cain, The Legend of the Jews

              5. Abraham ? idol wrecker according to the Midrash Bereishit 3813, written in the 4th Century CE

              6. Moses' mother nurse him according to the Talmud written in the 4th Century

              7. Pharaoh's magicians according to Ambrosiaster. The commentary itself was written during the papacy of Pope Damasus I, that is, between 366 and 384!

              8. Korah's keys according to the Talmud written in the 4th Century

              9. The Cave - the story of men protected by sleeping in a cave according to the Christian version from the Syrian bishop Jacob of Sarug (c. 450?521), in the 6th Century CE!

              10. Mary and Zechariah according to the oldest manuscript of the Gospel of James is the 4th century Papyrus Bodmer V!
                a. God cares for Mary
                b. Casting lots to care for Mary

              11. Mary and the miracle of the Palm Tree according to the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew is believed to date back to the 6th century!

              12. Injilu 't Tufuliyyah also known as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, was ALLEGED written in the middle of the 2nd century. However, it is UNKNOWN whether the original language of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas was Greek or Syriac. The few surviving Greek manuscripts provide NO CLUES themselves, since none of them date before the 13th century, while the earliest authorities, according to the editor and translator Montague Rhodes James, are a much abbreviated 6th century Syriac version, and a Latin palimpsest of the 5th or 6th century, which has NEVER been fully translated and can be found in Vienna.

              Since Christianity was founded in the 4th Century by the Greco-Romans and the NT written in Greek, there is no doubt that the Gosple was written in Greek in the 5th or 6th Century as according to Montague Rhodes James. The stories plagiarized were

              a. Jesus creates birds
              b. Jesus speaks in the cradle

              The Quran says in 0691

              And they did not appraise ALLAH with true appraisal when they said, "ALLAH did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the BOOK that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You make it into PARCHMENTS, SCATTER IT and CONCEALING MUCH. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, " Allah ." Then leave them in their discourse, amusing themselves.

              The Quran confirms what the disbelievers did to the Book of Musa, that is, they make it into parchments, scatter it and conceal much of the information. But when the Quran was sent down revealing to them of what they concealed, they plagiarized what is from the Quran and than accused the Quran of plagiarized. Can you see the conspiracy?

              Salam Noon

              I am BACK muscle

              The Quran Chapter 19

              1. Mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

              2. And mention, , in the Book Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

              3. And mention in the Book Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

              4. And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

              5. And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

              6. And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

              The Quran confirms that the above stories were told in the Book of Musa and not in separate books. It was written 1000 years before the 4th Century. Besides the Quran also confirms that the Book of Musa has only 2 sections, the Torah and Injeel and not in 66 books as in the Jewish and Christians blatant lies.

              Peace

                Peace Hizbullah -- are you posting in the correct topic/thread; you were asked questions by Lena and myself?

                This topic is on Qu'ran (i.e. book you are quoting), do you have evidence 4th century manuscript or anything?

                  The Quran says in Chapter 19 which i have quoted that stories of Abraham, Musa, Esa and the rest were all recorded in the Book of Musa a thousand years before the 4th Century. What i shown earlier, see below

                      Salaam,

                      Considered the pathetic interpretation of Quran by the year 800-1000 interpreters it is as if they interpreted a completely foreign text with little to no clue of what it said whatsoever, so it would not be surprising if Quran was revealed in the 4th century. It would be more understandable if it had been at least a 500-600 years between composition and available interpretations, when you take the inaccurate understandings of what it says. The interpreters could not simply read and interpret it but they had to take it as scholarly work. All added diacritical marks and mistakes of scribes testify to that.

                      And due to this people should not just take available lexicons or understanding of passages as obvious. Not even classical grammar.

                      But it is not certain that one plagiarized the other, especially if the knowledge was not unique but several people knew it.

                      Salaam

                        You have outright rejected all the Quranic evidences nope. That is not a scholarly approached. You cannot even answered my question.

                        The oldest Quran that you have posted is not the oldest - I reject you claims yeah

                          I believe it is. Ample Quranic evidences already proof as such.

                          Quranic Evidence

                          AQ;0515 - O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you CONCEAL OF THE BOOK AND OBLITERATE MUCH. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.

                          "making clear to you of what you CONCEAL OF THE BOOK AND OBLITERATE MUCH" - So what does it means?

                          Peace

                            Salaam,

                            Okay. But it is still not specified if it is that sort of knowledge which is "concealed".

                            Most of the knowledge the clergy has concealed and distorted from the prophets is the perception of the "God" phenomenon. And on top of that a lot of invented terms to justify a more ritualistic faith. When the scripture came they had to justify their namaz etc, so they intentionally took an innocent word and basically said "this means our ritual prayer!"

                            It does not matter to me though. I know Quran is authentic.

                            Salaam

                                It is clear that you have difficulty comprehending my simple English, in replying to your thread.

                                Now you labelled me a hypocrite. Accussing me of rejecting the Quran? Wow, thank you very much.

                                AQ 05116 - And when ALLAH said, "O Esaias, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides ALLAH?'" He replied, "EXALTED ARE YOU! IT WAS NOT FOR ME TO SAY THAT TO WHICH I HAVE NO RIGHT. IF I HAD SAID IT, YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT. YOU KNOW WHAT IS WITHIN MYSELF AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WITHIN YOURSELF. INDEED, IT IS YOU WHO IS THE KNOWER OF THE UNSEEN.

                                    Quranic evidence which I have shown you proofs that the Last Prophet Muhammad was not and Arab, as such, the Original Quran in its eloquent tongue was not "Arabic". I do not have concrete evidence of the Original and if suppose I have it now, than, that is an authority from ALLAH to me, similarly, like the authority that was given to Thalut. The Quran

                                    And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you all in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you all, if you are believers."

                                    However, that is beside the point. Do you need coins to proof your point when Quranic evidence is manifest throughout the Quran? In my case, Quranic evidence comes first then historical evidence.

                                    You said Abraha and his descendants rules South Arabia until your so called coming of Islam. I am sorry to say that you are wrong. After his death, his son took over but not for long.

                                    Abraha was not an Aksumite nor was he a Christian. In fact from the epithet of the inscription, he was a South Arabian and known as the the Most Gracious's Messiah.

                                    Translation

                                    "With the power of the Most Gracious, and His Messiah King Abraha Zeebman, the King of Saba'a, Zuridan, and Hadrmaut and Yemen and the tribes (on) the mountains and the coast wrote these lines on his battle against the tribe of Ma'ad (in) the battle of al-Rabiya in the month of "Dhu al Thabithan" and fought all of Bani A'amir and appointed the King Abi Jabar with Kinda and Al, Bishar bin Hasan with Sa'ad, Murad, and Hadarmaut in front of the army against Bani Amir of Kinda. and Al in Zu Markh valley and Murad and Sa'ad in Manha valley on the way to Turban and killed and captured and took the booty in large quantities and the King and fought at Halban and reached Ma'ad and took booty and prisoners, and after that, conquered Omro bin al-Munzir. (Abrha) appointed the son (of Omro) as the ruler and returned from Hal Ban (Halban) with the power of the Almighty in the month of Zu A'allan in the year sixty-two and six hundred."

                                    Mentioned Abraha claimed to be the Messiah and pass away in 662 CE?

                                        First off, we must know geographically where the Quran was sent down. Understanding how Arabic evolved to its current forms is an important step. Some theories on the origin of Arabic support a possible early Persian influence. Many believe that the Arabic script was first used in the Hrah and ?Anbr area of Iraq which was under the Persian rule during that period. Some of the theories explored by Ibn al-Nadm, a well-known Muslim librarian and historian of the tenth century, listed the so called ?Pre-Islamic? Arabic names from that same area who supposedly designed the early forms. Ibn al-Nadm, described several old and new Persian scripts. His sketches of letters shapes of some of the surviving ones in his time showed curves resembling those of old Pahlavi similar to those of Persian Nasta`lq style. Referring to an earlier version of one such script, he called Firamuz, which is sometimes cited as the Arabic-like Persian script predating Arabic, Ibn al-Nadm explained that it ?was derived and wrote by the Persians. It is a recent development in two forms.? His statement clearly indicates that this Arabic derived Persian script came later.

                                        So the early Arabic script, Jazm, was independently developed by the South Arabian tribes, under the influence of the Persians, who were their ally, from localized versions of cursive Musnad, in the 5th / 6th century. After all, early Jazm shares with Musnad its exact 28 letters. It also shares with it an early use of multiple shapes per letter that became widely utilized later. It even used several Musnad shapes without major modifications. Jazm may have coexisted with and influenced by more prominent Aramaic scripts in its vicinity and particularly Nabataean. However Jazm approach to connectivity and shapes was quite different.

                                        Bushr ibn `Abd al- Malik al-Kind, believed to be a so called ?Christian? Arab, was the first to bring Jazm from Hrah to Mecca. Bushr was the brother of al-Ukaydir, a leader from ancient Dumat al-Jandal (ouside Sakkah of northern Saudi Arabia) that is located 200 miles southwest of Hrah. At that time, during the 5th - 6th centuries, it was the capital of the Arab kingdom of Kinda. Below is a rough translation of the so called ?Pre Islamic? poem, attributed to a man from Mecca or Dumat al-Jandal, which is widely referenced in Arabic literature

                                        Do not deny Bushr?s favors to you
                                        He was a man of open blessed wisdom

                                        He brought you al-Jazm calligraphy until you saved
                                        the money that was plenty and scattered

                                        You then moved the pens back and forth
                                        as skilful as scribers of Kisr?* and Qaysar ?

                                        And had no need to Musnad of father Himyr ?
                                        and whatever the Himyrite* kings wrote on pages

                                        So, these proofs that the present Quran was written in the South Arabian script! But why South Arabian when the Prophet was not an Arab?

                                        1. Why was the Quran written in South Arabian Script when the Prophet was not an Arab?

                                        AQ1206
                                        And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favour upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise.

                                        AQ2927
                                        And We gave to Him Ishaq and Yaqub and placed in his descendants Prophethood and the Book. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the hereafter among the righteous.

                                        The above verses proofs that prophethood from the family of Abraham was granted to the descendents of Prophet Ishaq. The Last Prophet was a direct descendent of Prophet Ishaq and not Ismael as the Traditional Islamic sources implies! The Arabs are descended from the Prophet Ismael. In fact, all of us in this world at present descend from the 11 sons of Ismael.

                                        In the Torah - Genesis 17, ALLAH promises Abraham that HE will make Abraham?s descendants from Ismael a Great Nation. The Quran supports this in verse 0454 and 0686

                                        Further, Quran in Chapter 12, relates that eleven planets representing the 11 sons of Ismael, the sun represent Yaqub and the moon represent Yusuf?s mother.

                                        AQ1204
                                        When Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen eleven planets and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."

                                        AQ12100
                                        And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration.

                                        The Quran also confirms that there were messengers working under the instructions of the Last Prophet!

                                        AQ;0332 - Say, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.

                                        AQ;2351 - "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.

                                        The above verses are proofs that there were messengers during the era of the Prophet. Instruction from the ALMIGHTY to the Prophet, to the people to follow their respective messengers!

                                        AQ;1404 - And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people to state clearly for them???...

                                        Messengers were sent with the Language of His People - so that the people are able to understand the Message that the Messengers were sent with.

                                        AND

                                        AQ.1587 - And We have certainly given you, , SEVEN OF THE SECOND ONE and THE GRAND QURAN.

                                        The above verse tells us that there were 7 numbers of the Quran, that is, seven translated version translated in 7 different languages.
                                        So it is explicit that the audience of the Quran were not only the Arabs but to the people of this world. It is impossible that the original Quran was written in ?Arabic?. Musnad script was one of the languages of the Quran that it was translated to. South Arabia was the last stop of the Prophet and plausible, his demised. 300 years later after the Persian defeat in the Battle of Qadasiyyah, the Arabization of the Middle East begun. That was the era where all versions of the Quran were destroyed except for the Arabic version.

                                          to make it short and simple, when God said >>>

                                          doesn't it mean this quran is Arabic? regardless if its evolved or not evolved, do you believe Quran is Arabic like God said or not
